I can reproduce with just about any email. For example try sed instead of the unix2dos command on the simple email you were
trying to reproduce the problem I described:
sed -i -e 's/$/\r/' gmail

I think unix2dos doesn't really put carriage returns instead of newlines (probably there is some option to add carriage returns).
